Ice Dam Repair Medford, MA

Winter in Medford, MA is brutal on roofs causing ice dams. When snow starts to accumulates on your roof and the cycle of the snow melting and refreezing occurs ice dams begin!  Its the refreezing that gradually forms ice dams, a growing block of ice the prevents the melting snow from properly running off the roof.

When an ice dam continues to form melting snow that puddles up can start to leak and go back under the roofs shingles and make its way into the finished space of your home home causing expensive damage to ceilings, walls, floors and even furniture.  It only takes a little ice to dam up and cause water to backup and leak into your home especially on homes that have roofs with a low slope.  Think you have an ice dam?

How to Prevent Ice Dams in Medford, MA

(781) 874-0095

The best way to prevent ice dams is with proper attic insulation.  If warm air is escaping into your attic there is a very good chance that you will get ice dams after a heavy snowfall.  When the warm air of your home is flowing underneath your roofing boards the snow above begins to melt slowly dripping down the roof into the gutter.  As the gutter fills up with melted water it will freeze up.  If the melt re-freeze cycle continues an ice dam will form eventually working its way up underneath the singles and melting into your home causing ceiling damage, rotted wood and even mold problems.
